Additive Manufacturing (AM)

Cleaning in Additive Manufacturing (AM) helps maintain equipment efficiency, ensures high-quality prints, and reduces the risk of contamination that could affect future projects.

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has made an advance in the industrial world in recent years. AM simplifies the production of complex parts, improves material-efficient and make it possible to create parts which are more light while keeping the same performance requirements. With it comes specific needs in cleaning or post treatment processes.

INVENTEC benefits of it’s years of expertise in high-tech cleaning and surface treatment to adapt our solutions to the specific requirements of AM and to the materials used.

There are 5 main domains in AM where INVENTEC can provide a solution:

  • Particle removal: the elimation of loose particles (metal or plastic) from the printed part
  • Polymer cleaning
  • Post treatment
  • Stripping
  • Maintenance: the cleaning of equipment
  • It is important to understand the materials used and to select compatible cleaning or surface treatment products to achieve the expected results.
